Gerrard joins Town

Last updated : 16 November 2002 By TownMAD

The move will reunite Gerrard with his former boss at Everton - Royle took him to Goodison Park for £1million from Oldham in 1996.

The 30-year-old keeper has been out of favour under current Everton manager David Moyes.

Ipswich may be interested in signing Gerrard on a permanent basis, although during the loan term Everton will be able to recall the goalkeeper in the event of any injuries.

Gerrard is expected to go straight into the squad for Sunday's game with Watford at Vicarage Road.
